Drought-Sun tolerant. Plant will refuse to perform other than full sun conditions as flower require sun energy to open and close.
Respect planting distances that is minimum 1 foot, as its a perennial and will gradually grow bushier through new growth from ground. Dwarf varieties can be planted closer.
Makes a mound, can be used as ground cover.
Seed pods require atleast a 20-25 days to mature.
Seizes flowering in hotter months but will spring back in fall and will continue to flower even in winter months.
If transplanted, plant will appear as if dead...however transplant will regain its composure in 15 days, This be patient after transplanting.
Continue watering in non-flowering period or plant can suffer in hotter months.
